Chapter 5 Tough Guy Jeff Brown, Leader Eldridge

 In a few minutes, the blue team didn’t score a single point, while the red team scored 14 points in a row and hit 14:0!

"Farke, pay attention to the opponent's pick-and-roll, remember to cover and assist!" Eldridge roared and gave the order as the boss.

He did not run directly to the frontcourt, but waited in the backcourt to kick off the ball.

Aldridge also felt that the blue team's point guard was unreliable. If he didn't do something, he wouldn't even be able to catch the ball.

Eldridge dribbled the ball all the way to the three-point line against Lu Feng's defense. Lu Feng knew the opponent's strength and did not slack off in defense.

Eldridge made a change of direction, and Lu Feng wanted to move sideways to keep up, but was blocked directly.

Mark West also made an inside and outside pick-and-roll. The two cooperated very skillfully. It should be a tactic that the Huskies would have used in the past two years.

Eldridge found the right opportunity to drive inside, and Jeff Brown made up for it, but did not notice Doug Meekins cutting inside behind him.

Aldridge hit a ball to Doug Meekins - Boom!

Jeff Brown, who wanted to help defend, unfortunately received a dunk. He didn't say a word, but silently picked up the basketball and kicked off.

On the next ball, Lu Feng broke through Jeff Brown's pick-and-roll. After encountering a double-team, he passed the ball to Jeff Brown who was on the outside.

Jeff Brown made a three-point shot - bang, a happy goal!

It was a long backboard. Lu Feng relied on his sense of smell on the backboard to determine the direction in which the ball would fly. He used the speed of the bullet to jump high and catch the basketball flying in the air.

Lu Feng grabbed the offensive rebound, and before he could land, he once again passed the ball to Jeff Brown, who was still on the three-point line.

Jeff Brown caught the ball, glanced at the basket, and shot another three-pointer.

Oh, I'm lucky this time, I got in!

40:29, in the last 5 minutes, the score between the two teams was reduced to 11 points.

Mark West decisively raised his hand and said it was his fault, but others did not blame him.

In this era, when a center stands on the outside and shoots a three-pointer, and he makes it, no one can withstand him.

On the next goal, the blue team still had an inside and outside pick-and-roll between Eldridge and Mark West. Jeff Brown helped to defend Eldridge, but was unable to control Mark West who was cutting inside. Mark West made a layup.

Enter.

Lu Feng could see that the tactics played by the two veteran Huskies players on the blue team were the pick-and-roll and inside tactics favored by Jerry Sloan's Utah Jazz.

This tactic is very simple, but also very practical.

Relying on Karl Malone and Stockton's pick-and-roll, the Jazz became a strong NBA team.

At this time, the NBA still has such stupid rules as illegal defense, that is, defensive players cannot directly switch defenses, so this tactic has no solution in the NBA.

The NBA itself also knows that illegal defense is a stupid rule. In the playoffs, this rule will be directly ignored by the referees. Just like the No Handcheck rule in the future, the playoffs will no longer exist.

Lu Feng now also understood why the Huskies were weak in the past two years. The pick-and-roll tactics focused on the players' personal abilities, especially the personal abilities of the inside players.

Jerry Sloan's Jazz also became a strong team in the Western Conference after Malone entered his peak period.

As for the Huskies' inside line...ahem!

All I can say is: The Huskies have an avant-garde inside style and are twenty years ahead of the times!

In the next 3 minutes, the two teams played several goals back and forth. The two teams played at a fast pace. They both dribbled the ball to the 3-point line and immediately launched an attack. An attack would not take more than 15 seconds.

The score reached 48:35. After another goal was scored through the pick-and-roll, the score difference reached 13 points.

The three players on the red team felt very good today, but not every 3-pointer was scored, and the rebounds of both teams were similar.

And Eldridge, Mark West and Doug Meekins' inward cuts are very effective, especially after Doug Meekins understands the tactical content, the two goals scored inside are both direct and direct based on their athletic ability.

Dunk.

Jeff Brown has been unable to guard the inside and has become more and more impatient.

In fact, this is not his problem. After every level, he has to help defend Eldridge. There was a ball because he hesitated and Eldridge made a mid-range shot.

Not to mention Doug Meekins, it is entirely because his athletic ability is better than that of the red team's No. 4 position. It is really too much to ask Jeff Brown to help defend the two at the same time.

But Jeff Brown was in the middle of it and couldn't turn his head around. He felt that this was all his own problem.

The essentials of pick-and-roll tactics are actually very simple, which is to play mismatches and defensive weaknesses. This is why later on, there were more and more levels in the NBA.

As modern basketball develops, it pays more and more attention to efficiency, and mismatch offense is undoubtedly the most efficient offensive method.

Attacking the small against the big and the big against the small has become a favorite thing for basketball coaches to study twenty or thirty years later.

Lu Feng dribbled the ball past half-court, feeling a little impatient. He really didn't want to lose.

After scoring two consecutive three-pointers at the beginning of the second half, he made 1 of 3 three-pointers. His mid-range shooting ability of 75 was still not stable enough, and he failed to make two semi-open shots with good touch.

Outside the three-point line, Lu Feng was about to call a pick-and-roll, but was surprised to find that Jeff Brown was leaning in the low post to ask for the ball.

Lu Feng is very curious, is Jeff Brown planning to play in low singles?

This soft egg actually got hard!

Lu Feng lobbed the ball in, and Jeff Brown hit Mark West with his back.

After being targeted again and again by insiders, Jeff Brown finally broke out.

He roughly knocked away the confused Mark West and exploded directly under the basket to complete the dunk!

On this shot, Jeff Brown acted like a tough guy inside!

After the dunk, Jeff Brown roared with a voice that echoed throughout the audience:

"Farke, let go of your pick-and-roll and dunk me, you weakling!"

After he finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.

Eldridge stood seriously in front of Jeff Brown and said: "Jeff, I'm sorry to make you feel bad, but this is team training. If you don't like it, you can leave. You can talk trash during training.

, but you can't insult your teammates. I hope you can use words like 'softie' on your opponents instead of your own teammates."

In fact, after Jeff Brown vented his anger, he already regretted it. Seeing Eldridge so serious, he panicked.

"Well, just now I...well, actually I was angry because I was dissatisfied with myself. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

The expression on Eldridge's face relaxed, revealing a smile.

He patted Jeff Brown on both shoulders: "Yes, if you realize that you have done something wrong, you must apologize to your teammates in time, but..."

Eldridge paused, "To be honest, your performance just now was very tough. I hope you can keep it up, but during training, you have to hold back your mouth and save your anger for the game!"
p>

"Of course, I will, don't worry, boss!"

After saying one sentence, Jeff Brown went from being nervous and frustrated to becoming confident again.

Eldridge will yell angrily on the court when his teammates perform poorly. He will immediately point out when his teammates make mistakes. He can also immediately notice when his teammates are not in the right state.
Chapter completed!
